Do we really need teachers?

We don't need teachers now that we have technology.

Do we?

 

With all of the technology that we have in this day and age, do we really need teachers to teach the youth of today? i mean think about it.. everything we need to know we can find out using the Internet. Many children don't appreciate coming to school because it can be boring from time to time. Children don't give teachers the respect that they want in schools now so in my opinion i think that it would be a good thing if we didn't have teachers.

 

Even if we didn't have teachers i think that it would be a good idea to still build schools that children could go to to use some of the technology that they may not have access to at home. This is a way that would keep young children off of the streets and in some sort of education. Although teachers would not be hired. There would still be a head of the school and will also be helpers around to keep the children under control.

 

If you ask any person if they enjoy being talked at they will say no. Well in my opinion all teachers do is talk AT children instead of TO them. With a computer or whatever technology children can research what ever they want to learn. The video that this man created is a perfect example of what this blog is about. Please watch.

Although the children in this video had almost nothing, they were still able to teach themselves and others how to use computers. This experiment just shows that whether their are teachers or not, children are still able to learn. I think that although in some places teachers are necessary to keep children under control but it shows that you don't really need them to teach children when they can quite clearly do that themselves.
